Classes, Cases, and Chaos

Join me on my adventures and misadventures during my last year of law school, my ultimate (and unreachable) goal of attaining my own reality show--my slightly more realistic goal of publishing a book, and of course my (anything but dull) daily life!

I heard the song Changed, by Rascal Flatts, on my way to the gym this morning. I'm not a typical Sunday blogger, but I had to share the song with you. It spoke to me about some things I've really been struggling with lately.

My favorite part was the line where he says: "It didn't matter where I've been...because I'm not the same as I was then..." Wow.

The day to day functions of Social Media baffle me. I have a Twitter, which I rarely use. I have a Pinterest which I love. I just got Instagram yesterday(follow me on either @Emme1022) to look at pictures of my perfect twin nephews, I (obviously) use blogger, and I use Facebook a lot less than I used to. This morning one of my girlfriends texted me regarding a recent conversation we had about a guy she's worked with on a couple projects. They communicate via email, in meetings, and the occasional work related text message. She asked whether she could add on Facebook him without being 'creepy.' (I'm assuming she texted me because I'm a huge enabler). My response was standard...she could only add him if she asked him to make-out when she added him...When she said no, I changed my conditions...she could only add him if she emailed him, texted him, and facebooked him simultaneously. Cause that wouldn't be weird at all. This got me to thinking as to why certain aspects of Social Media have become such a game, or require such an analytic thought process about pushing a button. My theory about social media is similar to my (slightly naive) theory on real life: you can never have too many friends. It shouldn't be a chess match or a cat and mouse game when adding or for that matter deleting someone. It shouldn't be thought of as weird or creepy to add someone you know (and have met more than once). In fact it shouldn't be a game at all, and it's too bad that's what it's turned into.

One of my favorite parts about working at Ann Taylor is "playing dress up." I love that I work in an environment with so many incredible women...and on top of that, I get paid to shop on a weekly basis. When trying on clothes, I make an effort to choose pieces I would never try on, or purchase... I force myself try them on, and then usually occasionally purchase said pieces.

This skirt is one of my favorite SATC skirts... the skirt Carrie was wearing when she got completely doused by a city bus (and then most likely said something profound or iconic).

I foundthisskirt at Ann Taylor this past weekend while I was working at our Chic Makeover Event. A ballet pink, silk, asymmetrical tulle, skirt. Reminiscent (but much more affordable) than the skirt Carrie wore. Not only did it make me feel like a Princess (yes, I was twirling around the store in it), but it made me believe that Spring and warm weather may actually be approaching (even with the 8 inches of snow on the ground).

Due to the large accumulation of snow, coupled with house/pet/kid sitting, along with my desire to stay off the roads... I'm working from "home" today, while Bella the snow bunny frolics outdoors.

I'm drinking Hot Cocoa out of a pretty mug instead of my normal black flavored coffee in a (boring) stainless steel tumbler that comes with me to work everyday. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast for myself and the kid I'm watching (but mostly for myself ;D)

I just emailed one project to an attorney, and am about to start on my second...and hopefully make a dent on a third by the end of my snow day. I'm wearing denim, flannel, and driving shoes, on a Monday. I guess this snow day thing isn't so bad.

About Me

I'm a 25 year-old law student in the middle of America. I believe everyone has good in them, hot chocolate is best with marshmallows and laughter is the best medicine. My family means the world to me--my mom and dad are my closest friends (as well as current roommates), my older brother and I look exactly alike--but his jokes are actually funny, and my sister-in-law is one of my best friends. Friends for me are defined by quality not quantity...and I'm a very lucky girl having a handful of the most incredible people in the world as my friends. I believe in love and the butterflies that it can give you, I believe everyone deserves a second chance, and everything eaten on your birthday is calorie free. I run half-marathons, I play tennis, and I love golfing. I think all food bought at whole foods (including sweets) has to be healthy, I adore the feeling when someone or something takes my breath away, and I bite the inside of my bottom lip when I’m nervous. I’m a master of small talk, awkward moments, and smiling (it’s my M.O.). I hope you enjoy my journey, thoughts and feelings as I share them with you on my blog.
